Recently, I got into one of those situations.
A character, with a sling, it out of sling bullets. And instead of just being here doing nothing, he suggest using ordinary rocks.
In 1e, there was a fast rule about it (Ordinary rocks deal -1 damage) is there anything about that in 2e?
there's no rule for that, but mundane sling bullets are almost a non-issue, i'd let them just use them for free.
There's then the second part:
SILVER sling bullets costs 40GP the pack of 10.
So... throwing a sling coin would count as an improvised (-1 to damage) but still silver ammo?

Most games that I have been in haven't bothered to track mundane ammunition quantities.
If you are going that route and tracking things that finely, I would probably allow picking up and slinging appropriately sized and weighted items as an improvised weapon. Assuming that the character can find them.
I wouldn't consider a silver piece to be an appropriately sized and weighted item to be used as a sling bullet. A silvered sling bullet is a regular sling bullet with a silver plating. Just like a silver sword is normally a steel core with silver plating. You could make a fully silver sword using high grade silver ingots, but it has quite a bit higher of a price if I recall correctly. I guess you could do the same for sling bullets, but it would again have quite a bit higher price than is normal.
There was an awesome thread on this a few years ago. It turns out slings are surpringly badass weapons that can make life miserable if you are unlucky enough to take one in the dome.
